Description Hello everybody! Here's a shot I took back in January of 2006 in Pellinge (an islet outside Porvoo in Finland), when there still was no ice and snow. I kinda liked the moodyness in this one, so I decided to submit it. Processed RAW in PS, burned & dodged a bit, and added soft vignetting and the frame.

Print available.

Info: Canon EOS 20D | Sigma 12-24mm EX HSM | ISO100 | f/22 | 6 secs

Hope you like it. Comments and critiques are welcomed.

Is the green stone a manipulation?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Solkku In reply to furororis [2007-01-27 02:01:34 +0000 UTC]

Nope, I don't consider adding saturation manipulation as it can be done in a darkroom to an analog photo also. That is what RAW photography is all about.

ShiningamiMaxwell [2006-11-27 21:11:28 +0000 UTC]

are those all natural colors in the stone, or did you recolor them in the computer? if it's natural, it must be a wonderful place to visit.

this is beautiful. ^_^

The color blending is amazing. The grading of the background vs the fore is mesmerizing, as well. Stunning and entrancing.
